National Disgraces - It's Time to Go

The Daily Telegraph is to be commended for running a campaign that focuses on MP's expenses and what military equipment could be purchased with that money for troops in Afghanistan.  Although not a Telegraph reader I am impressed with the courage and persistence with which the Telegraph has pursued this issue.

These articles highlight two National Disgraces perpetrated by Government:
  • Troops being sent to fight a war without the means to protect themselves or finish the job; and
  • MPs corruptly claiming expenses and then making weasel excuses like: I wasn't any good at arithmetic; I didn't know that I couldn't do this; I thought it was OK etc. etc.
As Gough Whitlam, Australia's famous PM, said before the 1972 general election as Leader of the Opposition: "It's Time".

Well It's Time now too in the UK.
